Špilberk Castle (hrad Špilberk)

Situated on a rocky hill overlooking the city, Špilberk Castle was originally a royal castle, then converted into a huge Baroque fortress and secure prison, known as the ‘Dungeon of Nations’ because of its international guest list of rebels against the oppressive Habsburg regime.

Located on the top of the hill known as Petrov, the free-standing Romanesque basilica was rebuilt as a Gothic cathedral in the 13th century, and converted to the Baroque style in the 18th century. The twin spires are depicted on the Czech 10Kč coin.
